This is great, and far too much fun. Thank you for ruining my productivity for the rest of the day.

I haven't read the whole thing yet, but the first few pages at least are well-written, eloquent (quite appropraitely) and very nicely formatted. Good job!

This isn't news.

Enough is enough. The man has an opinion and funded some ideas that the majority of us happen to disagree with. That doesn't make him a criminal, or worthy of the stockade.

Maybe he's not the best figurehead for CEO, but that shouldn't stop him from doing his job; a job that he's good at.

If you have enough karma to downvote this post, I would recommend that you do.

I agree, it's better this way :)

I'm glad the OP brought it up, but I hope we don't see an unflux of unnecessary comments now. Because of echoJS's nature as a targeted, specific forum for JavaScript news, there's rarely much need for discussion.

Hacker News is very active because it's so broad (often "Hacker" isn't even the target audience) and Designer News is often used as a feedback portal. Not so much on echoJS.

Oh wow, that is fantastic. Nice job.

EDIT: Small suggestion:

I think it might be worth when saying 'Loose equality
Often gives "false" positives like "1" is true; [] is "0"' also referring to the concepts of 'falsy' and 'truthy' commonly used in JavaScript parlance :)

This is pretty cool, but if the author is reading this: I think you might want to re-assess what you use in the example on the homepage.

At the very least, a JS developer might look at this:

```
.author .drinkPref :first-child
```

And go, well... I can just do this:

```
object.author.drinkPref[0]
```

Not so different! I noticed a bunch of other cool features however. For example:

```
:contains(S)
```

That's so useful! As a way to query a JSON object this is far more interesting than the original examples.

Anyway, apart from that, this is awesome. Good job.

Hey folks. I know this site is pretty new and all so not much gets done in the way of comments yet, but I'd really appreciate some feedback on my library, Interfake.

I think it's a pretty nice solution for creating JSON APIs for testing and prototyping against, and it's ended up being a really flexible tool so the readme was really tough to write. I had to decide whether the 'Get Started' section should be aimed at node developers, frontend devs, or perhaps devs of other platforms since Interfake is fairly platform-independent (since it has an HTTP and command line interface as well as JS).

If anybody has any thoughts in that regard, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers :)
